कहूँ कब तक दम आँखों में है मेरी
नज़र आवे ही-गा अब कोई दम में
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
Tell me, how much life remains in my eyes, for now, no passion can be found in my gaze.
Explanation
This beautiful couplet captures the agonizing struggle of a lover. The poet wonders how much longer his eyes can endure, because he knows that no matter where he looks, his gaze will inevitably fall upon the beloved. It’s a confession of inescapable devotion—a realization that even trying to forget is impossible when the heart and eyes are so deeply attached.
